For my project I created 2 layouts, it would have been 3 but all the pics of my daughter and her dad are on slides The first layout is a pic of my dad with my brother and I. I was the oldest of 5 (1brother and 3 sisters)

I was daddies sole Little princess for 6 years Then my first sister came along and I had to share the spot lite.

 I have many fond memories of my Dad   fishing trips, staying up half the night studying algebra, late night discussions of all sorts, gardening  and cooking!

My second layout is of my Gran daughter and her dad. She is the apple of his eye and she just loves to do the Father Daughter Dance with him. Now she is the only girl ( 2 brothers) so she will always be #1.

I love this photo of her and her dad

I used Story Book Creator from Creative Memories to create these layouts. I used digital kits from CM for the papers and embellishment. for both layouts.

Scrapping with Lisa's Designs Queen of Her Craftroom Design Team

Welcome to Scrapping with Lisa's Designs Queen of Her Craft-room Design Team displaying Lisa's Swimming Suit Bear, http://www.scrappingwithlisadesigns.com/item_61/Swimming-Suit-Bear.htm, which is available in her store. Today,we are going to showcase her little swimming suit bear in a shaped card which will not only will show the versatility of this file as each member of the team is very creative with thinking outside just the cutting file but also the many different styles of cards which are available which we as crafters need to look outside the traditional "square" card!!

For my card I created a gate fold with a twist I wanted it to look like a beach cabana ( What do you think did i get it right). This would make a great invitation to a pool party I'm loving how it turned out!

The card measures 6 x 6 and I used a piece of Making Memories patterned card stock called "Spring"

I printed My Bathing beauty out on white card stock cut her by hand  Inked all the edged used ti bathing suit and hat pieces as a pattern to cut her suit from some fun paper Her little face is from Peachy Keen "Cute and Cuddly Faces Assortment" I believe I used the 1/2 in size used white gel pen on the eyes and red om the mouth and black on the nose. Added some tiny buttons and a flower I just received from a RAK.

Wouldn't want you to get burnt along with without sun tan lotion with our swimming suit bear! Here is the complete line-up.

Memories in Tyme "It's all about Summertime" Blog Hop

• Welcome to the Memories in Tyme blog hops - where you will find some seriously talented people who love to share their ideas with you! Our hop today and is anything relating to summertime - doesn’t matter if it is a layout, card, mini album, or decorating item, if it’s about summertime…it’ll be here!!! With summertime right around the corner - it’s all about the heat, sunshine, spending time outdoors, green grass, family, BBQ’s, parades…you get the idea!!!
  
  Now, if you just happened upon my blog, then please go back to the beginning which is at Lynda’s blog (http://memoriesintyme.com/). Besides, the beginning is always the best anyway!!!
  
  Let’s get started with the ideas - My project is a digital  8 x 8 layout of a family gathering for the 4th of July! When I was a child every year we had 2 family picnics The 4th of July and Labor Day I left home at 18 and after that they were sporadic at best. My Grandmother on my father's side was the driving force behind these and once she was unable to continue there was no one to fill the role.
  Every now and again we try to do a mini one and it always brings back fond memories.
  
  

  

  
  For this layout I used Creative Memories  Storybook Creator software and two of their digital Art Kits "Primary 4th of July Digital PP Additions"  and "Classic Patriotic Digital Embellishments"
  I never thought I would say this, because I love paper but I have become a real big fan of digital scrapping
  
  Blog candy from Memories in Tyme…One lucky winner for June will receive a goodie pack for scrapbooking - in order to get in on the drawing, make sure to:
  1. Be a follower of Lynda J's blog!
  2. For extra entries...follow Lynda J on Twitter and Facebook Fanpage - information is on Lynda's  blog!
  3. Please check out everyone's blogs and leave a comment on theirs...the more you do the more entries you will get!

  Today our design team will be featuring the newest cats file. A bunch of ornery cats all looking to get into some kind of mischief. But, then what cats don’t, right?

  ...
  The file we used can be found here, (http://www.scrappingwithlisadesigns.com/item_44/Cats.htm)

  First I must Thank Princess Kimberly for inviting the Queens team to play along and for her graciousness in including me when I was so very late with my project (nearly an hour) Three Cheers for  Princess Kimberly! 

  I chose to use the Siamese cat and mouse from the five cats in the file just love his face and the mouse is too cute.

  I printed the Adobe file on half a sheet of  8.5 x 11 card stock and hand cut the pieces then inked them all in black ink and glued them together

  

  
  

  The yellow mat is from a paper stack and measures 5 x 5 the brown torn edge piece and th circle patterned paper is from a project I did last year,

  I decided to make this into an easel card I cut a piece of Kraft card stock at 5 x 11 folded in half and folded the top in half again to make the easel Mounted the kitty topper onto a 5.25 x5.25 piece of dark browm  card stock and glued it to the lower half of the folded card

  
  

  

  
  

  For the inside I cut a 2.75 x 5.25 piece of brown card for the base layers a piece of the yellow mat and the pieces of the torn brow and patterned papers to match the front of the card used pop dots to allow it to  create a stop for the front of the card. For the sentiments I used a couple stamp set from Inkadinkado 

  
  

  I am your last stop along the way, hope you like my easel card and the so cute Kitty from Lisa's Kitty file.

Today,we are going to showcase her lion in a masculine card which will show the versatility of this file as each member of the team is very creative with thinking outside just the cutting file.

My card is an interactive one Meaning my lion is on a wobble and he moves  Love it so cute.
I used the PDF file from the Lion Printed him an a 4 x 5 piece of card stock cut him by hand and inked him with brown and stucco inks, added some Googly eyes and glued it all together. The base is a 4.25 x 5.5 card
Created the mat with pieces from my scrap box and a leftover grass cut from a cricut cart. Ran them all through the Cuttle bug using Swiss Dots, Musical Flourish and forest branches. The sun was created using 2 layers from a cut in a new cartridge from Creative Memories called "Be Young".

I didn't add a sentiment because I am not sure who is going to get this one 

Hope you like my fun card!!
